When you think of the power that was unleashed for that short amount of time covering the amount of territory it covered it is just mind-boggling.

Being my first earthquake I admit I was frightened as I ran out of the house. Seeing it on TV and experiencing it is a different animal, I?m even scarred to take my nap.

Our Hospital just had a groundbreaking ceremony with the Gov, Lt Gov and every politician from Delaware in attendance... if it was about 20 minutes sooner, would have been cool as soon as the shovel hit the earth for it to shudder...

 It was really creepy. All of a sudden every wind chime and suspended bells started to ring. It was like in one of those horror movies just before the creature attacks.  &(rage_

Our last Quake was Easter Sunday last year, 7.2 at El Centro, Ca, only
60 miles away.  Anything less than 4.0 is hardly noticed !!!!!!  
Shake & Bake !!!  

Hang in there, really not that bad  %$oldcit

I just got some disturbing pics from a buddy of mine with some of the damage he had because of the Quake.  Makes you really feel lucky and value how precious life really is.

I was walking around work... b/c that's what we do... and when I got to the light displays (glass) I heard them jingle and thought nothing of it. Felt nothing. Then 5 people in my dept were like. ZOMG! Did you feel that? I was like no. Then we lost signal, and everyone got depressed.
Title: Re: Earthquake!!!!
Post by: kvbug (karen) on August 26, 2011, 08:00:21 pm
Yes, signal was lost for quite a while. It seemed that people driving when it happened didn't feel it, from those I've spoken to.  If you were sitting in a chair/standing/parked in a car  you seemed to feel it more it seems.
